Mercedes Benz SL-class crash

[jayjay1179]

i wonder just how hilarious the youtubers would find this if it was one of their own family members

in this mercedes?

i hope they were o.k.

[DIZAZZO]

For those who ask, "Will it blend?".

Yes, Mercedes Blends...

[thepersian204]

I was so relieved to see three people stop almost instantly to help the guy out

[AxCYeR]

haha gets out of the car after horrible crash... not a single fuck was given that day xD

[thepersian204]

@AxCYeR aaaaaaannd this looks like a good place for a nap!

[fatchris101]

a bit of faith in humanity is resorted people stopping

[deepnight]

thats the different abaout german and other highways. on german highway anyone other stop to help u, in other countries all people are looking and drive away.....

[jamecontent]

@deepnight I drive a lot and saw people stopping after a crash in Italy, France and Spain - They did not call german for help

[JenkoTV]

Are we there yet?

[iwrbf]

There was no roof, just a hard top as this is a Mercedes R129 SL Roadster, initial speed was over 130mph... don't try this in a mercedes? this is a mercedes...

[PSYTECH91]

if u want to commite suicide dont do that in mercedes

[74pbg]

Mercedes Benz, strong as the germans itself!!!

[MaybexIllxLikexYou]

[Puzlionac]

Morran



[69sins]

He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.

[TheSponger4life]

cant be a woman driver, the parking at the end was WAY to good.

[1elgalle1]

yeah!

[beratio]

atleast he parked it better then some people do

[imaNinjazz]

... and THATS the way the cookie crumbles.

[turbo04ion]

People probably help over there cause they dont get sued for stupid shit all the time. In US if you help someone out of a burning car and hurt there arm they can legally sue you and get THOUSANDS of dollars.

[tehdarklight]

Wat ... did anybody read the description ...

[Wunji1]

That looks like a BMW to me...

[69lol69]

Germany, best cars, best drivers, no speed limit, no retards on the road, paradise...

[michaelXXLF]

@69lol69

Yep, no retards. Like the one featured in the video above.

[MrBugfunk]

im sure thats europe. maybe germany, sweden, norway or danmark.

[MrBugfunk]

nice that so many going to help. this show me why we can have hope for the mankind. humans can be evil, but this show, they can also be angels.

[madeinbih1]

thats not a mercedes its a bmw i so this vide on history channel bout the autobahn

[griffknows]

nice people!!! In Los Angeles after a crash everyone drives faster and doesn't stop to help lol

[949rocco]

@griffknows WRONG! ppl dont drive faster!? they drive SLOWER and everyone takes a peek and fucking slows down traffic, so annoying!!!!!

[griffknows]

@949rocco

that too, but they never stop to help lol

[cummins331]

I'd hate to be the owner of that kraut wagon...

[luked1964]

@cummins331 lol kraut wagon never heard that for a german car hahahahahhaaha

[Jogi1186]

naja das hardtop is ja erst zum schluss abgefallen

[clubkid1]

wow! 3 cars stopped immediately! i'm shocked! this must be in the 80s'

[looncraz]

@clubkid1 Not the '80s, typical in Europe - and most of the world, actually.

The U.S. has a problem where everyone is afraid to help anyone else in case they might get sued.

It's a rubbish fear, of course, but it is a very real problem. I've been in the position to ask people why they didn't help, that was the answer.

[clubkid1]

@looncraz so let me get this straight: you go out and declare war on random countries, kill innocent civilians on live television, and you're afraid of helping each other?! cool!

[looncraz]

@clubkid1 Actually "we" don't declare war, our rogue government does.

And, even with that, virtually every conflict we have been in was caused by someone attacking us (or an ally) first.

The first instance where this did not happen was Iraq. This was the first preemptive war.

The problem here is that the people are improperly schooled - and most get their "knowledge" from the mass media or just through the rumor mill.

Most Americans have no interest in the outside world ( outside of them ).

[Poptartza]

@looncraz which is why the US has the Good Samaritan law. Now people can't be sued for helping. However, that fear is very real because there are some scum that will still try to sue the people that may have saved them.

[diztorcion666]

if i was mercedes benz i would use this video as advertisement

[Nemrok19r]

eeeee ... przeżyli

[DeNiSeK20]

rzadkość spotkać ludzi którzy się zatrzymają..

[MrTomcraven]

and from there all the people that stopped went straight to the local Mercedes dealer

[TheLarrysa]

o ja wale, ale  wypier*****ił

[TheVWPaddy]

Zwar mega Alt die aufnahme aber immer wieder Cool.....

[kkreicker1]

God they make great cars!

[CaptainJetJakal]

long way to skid...

[RACER4ever1992]

Very social stopping to help him!

[69arildodildo]

What year of SL was this? I got an oldtimer SL (1971) -it was the only Europeen cabriolet car that was accepted to be exported to the US at that time (for safety reasons)!

[69arildodildo]

[killersolid01]

menos mal aun existen los buenos samaritanos

[Benno257]

wow nett.

[chu0303]

未免滑太遠了吧!

[yamahaevo]

If this was in russia, poland or something els uggly contry no one had stopt

[smokenfly514]

The driver must sure have been happy it wasn't a convertible..

[carmotomaniacextreme]

@smokenfly514

SL are convertibles, it's roadsters, don't forget.Look carefully at the end of the crash, the hard top goes away

[smokenfly514]

@carmotomaniacextreme lol my bad, but the roof was on, that's what I probably meant

[jctevere]

@smokenfly514 It was a convertible. Removable hard top. You can see it roll of the car at the end. Even if the hard top was off the rollbar would have popped up and done the same...

[smokenfly514]

@jctevere oh so there are protective devices in place in case of a rollover? some bar comes up, is that what you're saying?

[jctevere]

@smokenfly514 Yes, there is a roll-over bar. That goes up automatically when you put down the convertible top. The driver then has the option to put it back down, but when a crash is detected it will pop back up.

[majorglenn]

Der SL ist eines der sichersten Cabrios die je gebaut wurden.

[MrBallyTechnologies]

@mqasim7866 Needs minor repair.

[V6Franklin]

@12stefano45 also ich würde auch anhalten und helfen so gut es geht! muss ja nicht gleich ein Luftröhrenschnitt sein aber anhalten und´n Notruf wählen kann ja wohl jeder und es ist auch gottverdammtnochmal Jeden seine Pflicht das zutun!!!

[WaterCottage]

Hey, an SL that I can now afford.

[VolvoEP]

Volvo drivers is helping every one! Take a look! (a Volvo 850 (i think) stopping to help the ((fucking)) man who cant drive :( )

[MartinObviously]

@VolvoEP They clipped the gravel at the side of the road, its an easy thing to do. combined with driving at high speed.

P.S don't be a volvo fanboy.

[VolvoEP]

@MartinObviously Don't care about me and Volvo man! ):

[MartinObviously]

@VolvoEP it would be cool if it was a volvo 240, stop faster than most cars! lol

[motanualb]

mercs are like cats always ends up on wheels :)))))

[sp33dou]

It was going upside down faster than most cars go on wheels :D

[bignicky88]

if that person had been driving the sl one generation earlier, he'd be killed. this person would be kissing the feet of that noble engineer who designed the pop up roll bar on the r129. it has since been made a common feature on most convertibles.

[MAPFWH]

In Britain, nobody would stop. Except to see what they could steal from a dying man. Fact.

[nooki1102]

@MAPFWH hahahaha,,,im an australian and i still think that the best of england was sent here 200 years ago hahaha

[WWEGRussia]

И главное все сразу остановились!

[LanEvo21]

I HOPE PEOPLE SEE THIS MESSAGE:

I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT MUCH PEOPLE PULLING OVER (TO HELP HOPEFULLY). GREAT PEOPLE! :) God bless them!

[KOSTY25K]

@LanEvo21 i agree with you,i will pull over to,fuck everything else,a life its a life ;)

[brandon1ucas]

@LanEvo21 I think this happened in Germany, where you're required by law to stop and help broken down or crashed drivers. It's still good that they did the right thing, though.

[batbat0]

he looks like driving very fast and he dont have a good driving if another car not  like mercedes roof strengh its the best

[unknownunknowns]

@jxxn442 That's what happens when you get a Mercedes.

[Adetykar]

Jednak są bezpieczne skoro przeżyli dachowanie, urwanie dachu i  wyszli o swoich siłach. Może to szok może i nie ale brawura na śliskiej nawierzchni zrobiła swoje.

[Police5O5]

HE SURVIVED LOOK watch#!v=KbdH-J6UoYI&feature=r­elated

[FreeZey78]

It’s a shame that you can’t see the Merc’s pop-up rollbar in this footage. I watched an enhanced version on a police TV show and it’s really quite impressive.

[EternalSickness]

At least it landed right side up!

[McColanis]

First 3 cars behind him stop to help him. I love good humans.

[VoiTuboUser]

LOL, awesome people stopped to help someone they don't know xD

Here where i live people would just slow down to check and go away HAHAHAHAHA

[lAuthenticl]

learned his lesson, slow down at curves.

[GalatasarayUltraHagi]

was ein depp^^ wie der noch austeigt vom auto und sitzt da als wärs normal :),bechtimmt hatt er geweint wegen sein auto

[apfelipod]

@GalatasarayUltraHagi gibt ja ne versicherung^^

[MrBugfunk]

@GalatasarayUltraHagi

ich glaube eher mal der steht unter schock^^

[TypeRacer8]

+3 for all three cars who stop to help! Unbelievable he's still alive! :O

[ttniels]

euhm.. to all comments in some countries if you don't help people that had an accident you break the law. It's your duty to help someone who's in need.I don't know why this isn't in every country.

[leparditas]

@ttniels cause nobody wants all remaining life remember dead man.i mean its not the best experiense...

[dvl1882]

большинство наших ебучих соотечественников проехали бы,а типо тупые пиндосы останавливаются и помогают

[zanderesqueda]

what?!? people stoped? to help him? i want to live there!

[maccodj]

@zanderesqueda he just crashed, u do not want to live there!

[95115964]

@zanderesqueda

[ilias2oo6]

@95115964 no they dont,egypt sucks dicks

[95115964]

@ilias2oo6

[ilias2oo6]

@95115964 egypt is a third world backward nigger country,hitler should of exterminated the egyptian nigger population when he took over egypt in 1941,when germany came to liberate egypt in 1941 the egyptians helped the british,the egyptians are cowards and backward minded faggots

[95115964]

@ilias2oo6 1st We R Not Nigger 2nd we helped Britain Because We Were a British Colony and Yes We R a Thrid World Backward but just Come & See Not Your All Fingers The Same I Respect Germany For 2 Reasons 1) Your Great Manufacturing 2) Your Online Gamers ;) Stay Tuned & Don't Be That Greedy

[Michael7477]

@zanderesqueda It's a mercedes SL convertible crashing on the autobahn in germany.

[yoface459]

HE'S ALIVE!

[AnathemusVideos]

Epic!

[MUSTANGMAN50LX]

speed+rain=trouble

[Tibia36]

:O Wow

[NMZ1993]

Schön zu wissen dass die Leute doch anhalten und helfen!

[huze5]

and the award to the longest and most useless info for a video in history goes to.......

this is very exciting ladies and gentlemen...

...BVP1982!!! :P

[AnathemusVideos]

Haha

[stargamer]

amazing safety car

[Quak5]

Confirmed SL R129 '89-'01. Beautiful car wasted. Hope the driver is safe...

[steve89z]

this is a convertible with a safety roll bar that flipped up and saved his life!

[manookien]

no its not the 1latest model beacuse you see the roof coming up

[vitapidjxanthi]

Ouch...!!!!!

[nemanume]

is te SL r129 ...

[richardmoeller]

sauber eingeparkt

[1987PULA]

wow great people who all stoped to see if hes ok

[Bagjo123]

@1987PULA yep it is.. and its also the law.

[bradbeilby]

@1987PULA  i know for sure in england that wouldnt happen people would just drive on scary...

[Police5O5]

@1987PULA if u stop you get rear ended by the guy up behind you

[marino4691]

@1987PULA perhaps they wanted to get the wallet

[670lamborghini]

@1987PULA They only stopped their cars,because they were searching for some free MB SL parts lol:P

[tikitxiki]

@1987PULA lol its like the people that passed him going opposite direction when he crashed got off and got back on going the other way to see if hes ok. and everyone followed! haha

[xIbanez92x]

oha echt hilfsbereite menschen die alle gleich anhalten..

[V6Franklin]

@xIbanez92x jaaa das war irgendwann mal in den späten 90er (oder so);) aber ob das Heute noch der Fall wär, wag ich zu bezweifeln! Leider!

[TheOnkel95]

@xIbanez92x

wollt ich a grad schreiben ... ^^

[Quicky1921]

@xIbanez92x

ich wäre weitergefahren ^^

[GalatasarayUltraHagi]

lol

[Fiinniinnii]

und kapputt gemacht,

toll gemacht, super! lol

[pasadena19]

That's a 3 series BMW, not an Mercedes sl !!!

[tjwakaa]

no it isnt, bmw dont use the oval style headlights. and the 3 series is shorter than the car shown

i can se its a 2000-2006 body style

[NaffiFIRE]

it is the R-129 SL Roadster Mercedes Benz

[mikeh2006]

It wasnt straight. It was a right hand bend and he ran wide, touched the gravel/grass and the back slid out. Notice how he is catching up to the cars infront while the car is sliding on its roof. I would suggest that he lost control somewhere around 120 - 130mph. Just compare the speed to that of the other cars which are probably travelling at upto 60mph.

[mramo]

I keep telling people! Dont drive fast in the snow!!! But nobody listens to me!!!! Nobody!!!!

[apfelipod]

that's waht u pay for in that price range

[jeffcobird1]

best part 3 people pulled over to help

[archdefect]

I know! That was good of them to stop and help! You would not see that happen here in America. Well, for people with nice cars. Rich people tend to sue everyone for any little thing. That is why no one will stop and help the Mercedes driver here.

[chrisfball12]

Depends I'm pretty sure people will pull over. When i saw a truck fly in to a bush I could count about 8 cars pulled over and we all ran in to the bushes to see if the guys ok

[totesfleisch333]

So gefällt mir der Mercedes! Der wird in Zukunft vieleicht an die Situation angepasst fahren.

[PenisMcWhirtar]

It was Steven Segal driving and he got so nervy after the crash that his resting heart rate went up to 40 BPM and he had to centre himself to relax.

[Lysergzwerg]

leute helfen. so muß es sein. das gibts glaub nur in "good old Germany".

[KONI999a]

auf jeden....heut zu Tage denkt jeder nur an sich oder alle reden sich ein : "da war nix!"

zum Glück muss ich jeden fahr durch meine Arbeit einen 2 Tägigen Erste Hilfe Kurs machen!

[tvojootec]

wow!! the people stops when see it, in Slovakia not much

[polarbearfin]

Wonder what happened in the first place. How can you lose control of an MB on a straight Autobahn?

[landstrasse36]

the was a slight curve, and there is snow in the divider.. so probably ice.

[blues03]

The road is curved. Look at the little square picture at the bottom right. It's at the beginning of the video.

[yzfr6]

what country is this? in the US nobody would stop to help because everyone is always in a damn rush :/

[Kali0761]

it happend in germany ;)

[mramo]

haha! that is so true

[blues03]

I am 20, live in the US, and I stop every time, any time anyone has their hazards on, even for school buses (who often times are just checking their routes), and if I see it a police officers/fire trucks. It's a good feeling knowing that you don't have to have to be alone in your troubles.

BUT, on an American freeway? Hell no, you're more likely to end hurt trying to get over to help someone, and yes, the rush part is pretty true too.

[besserwisser666]

kept him safe though

[ChrisA7X89]

Immerhin war da viel Zivilcourage vorhanden bei den Leuten, so viele die da anhalten um zu helfen. So muss es sein!!!!

[luckie79]

It is old SL with hard top that is why it fell off so easily. The guy was unhurt though - amazing luck.

[makeminealarge1]

lol serves the cunt right

[Prismat1001]

Prima. Eine Waffe weniger auf dieser Welt.

[pXXXbrainstwentyfree]

nix probblem haben noch finfunttreissigtausand andara! jetzt live battle at antares!

[screammember]

It's a Mercedes Bnez my frind.

[WANK83]

This type of cabriolet Mercedes has safety metallic bars that protects the driver and the passenger.

[legionofwarriors]

its a bmw....or it looks like it or the front grille from merc got fucked up so it looks like bmw...whatever sl or 6er it still a safe car

[rebelsquirts]

wtf wrong with the long info

[joker23zg]

hahaha that's my view to a Japanese car passed by in such accident ... doubt that the driver and co-driver came out of the Honda ....

[Wujek40]

Jakbym byl na jego miejscu to po wyjsciu z tego auta powiedzialbym "o jezu, moj mercedes!!!":D

[martin912]

After a look I doubt about if it was an mercedes. then I downloaded this video and zoomed it quite close to the front of the car. there you can definitly see the "kidneys".

So for everyone:

THIS IS A BMW NOT A MERCEDES. but I would bet, that any other German car like Audi or Mercedes is as safe as BMW.

[JineshJK]

Thats the Mercedes Protection!!!! They build the finest and practical luxury cars in the world. Still no one can beat them on comfort, ride quality,safety, fine luxury,performance,etc... MERC shows its responsibility to its owners safety and money....

[godsadog]

ur 19

and u tell me u have a sl500?

my father is 64 and has one because he earned his money hard throughout his life

I don't belive u at all.

But IF u do have one, congratz anyways ;)

[emiks5]

Its a Mercedes SL R129 , but it is impossible to distinguish a SL 300 or SL 500 !!!

(Only by the Hardtop )

[djsps0]

omg that you can see it with this bad quality high way webcam :D

[Adil888]

and he was like : " Where the fuck is the roof ? "

[WRCetappen]

what car is it? some says it is a audi a6, a mercedes e-clas, a mercedes clk and now a mercedes sl. Find some facts before you upload a movie.

[illchewonthatrug]

Audi A6! LOL Someone can't tell a Ford Pinto from a Ferrari! It is definatley not a Audi A6. SL class doesn't even look close to a A6.

[fgxdx85]

Looks like his rear wheel locked up, could have been a brake malfunction, like a disc brake.
